Jurgen
Bey was asked to design the reception space of the Interpolis office building
in Tilburg. The office space is ment for small meetings.
Interpolis, a Dutch insurance company, has its origin in the Dutch agrarian
world . Bey wants to bring this agrarian origin forward. The reception
chambers are treated as a Sunday chamber and contain the wealth and beauty
of a country interieur with his archetypische pieces of furniture.

The
"ear-chairs" Jurgen Bey designed, were inspired by similar traditional
European chairs.
Like the original examples with a curved shape around the head (next to
the ears, hence the name) Bey exaggerated this element. Different sizes
accentuate the degree of isolation the user wants from his co-workers.

In
the exhibitionspace of VIVID in Rotterdam a part of the Interpolis reception
chamber will be reconstructed. Completed with a number of related designs
the visitor will get a good
picture of Jurgen Bey's idea upon the (future?) workplace.
